C Correct answer
Explanation

The Himalayas serve as a natural barrier protecting northern India from cold Central Asian winds and historical invasions. They act as a climatic and military shield. Vindhya Ranges are in central India, Sahyadri is Western Ghats, and River Ganga is a major river, not a protective mountain range.
